有著五大應有的複雜性，不過由木桶引來的幽香感很弱，酒的強度強，不過在口中的強度不及香氣，複雜㘹也不及香氣。餘韻長，好酒的表現。不過有一個奇怪的感覺，就是酒的結構有點鬆散的，沒有它的宏大雄厚感。整體來講仍是很好喝的。

(94) Full and rich.

廿多年的酒仍是大大隻、充滿活力，但亦有點深層發展。酒力強勁澎湃，味道感覺集中，而且濃烈，很有力的表現。酒香及酒味很一致，盪氣迴腸的，這種感受令人樂而忘返。

1993 Ch. Latour

This dry red wine still has deep purple colour. On nose it gives quite intense aromas of bell pepper, black cherry, licorice, black plum, vegetal and herbs. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. Tannin is at medium level, soft but a touch of greenness. On palate it has quite intense flavours of black cherry, bell pepper, licorice and trace of earth.

 酒的強度很好，貫徹的強勁。即使廿幾年酒味仍保持著很好的果感，酒體醇滑餘韻長，好味道。複雜性並不像靚年的那樣複雜，但也算不錯，是輕鬆喝出來而感覺又舒服的好酒。

廿幾年的酒，仍不失其洶湧澎湃感。酒香很好，發展亦成熟。酒味在口中亦維持著其力度及複雜性，悠長的餘韻，是一枝很出色的佳釀。現在飲已經很好了，會是一枝令人留有印象的酒。

1970 Ch. Latour

Deep purple colour with pronounced level aromas of black plum, menthol, blackcurrant, violet, smoke, vanilla and graphite, quite unexpected.

(95) Quite consistent throughout and good complexity.

40多年酒一般已經開始飲歷史多過酒味了，但拉圖在捍衛著酒是可以永恆的信條。仍然有著強烈的酒香和酒味，複雜性充足，餘韻亦長，以表現說這酒完全與年齡不成正比。酒的表現由聞到吞也很一致。好好飲，靚酒真的可以有很強的生命力。老路縱橫的一枝好酒。

五大來說拉圖的水準可能是最穩定，個人亦覺得他比拉菲更能代表這酒區。酒的香氣表現差不多接近完美，酒味的強度不及香氣，但也不弱，只是酒的結構在口中有點點散，餘韻亦不錯，夠長，但較隱弱，是一枝很好的酒。

2002 Ch. Latour

A deep purple dry red wine with fairly high intensity aromas of black plum, blueberry, mineral, earth, cedar, mint leaf, graphite and pine. It has medium acidity and alcohol. Full bodied with medium ripe and fine grained tannin. On palate it gives fairly high intensity flavours of black plum, licorice, earth, herbaceous with some notes of mineral, graphite and violet. Long black plum length. (94) Wonderful length

五大來說，LATOUR是十分穩定的。強烈複雜的酒香加上一致表現的酒味，再配上長長的餘韻，即使盲飲也一定知到這是一枝出色的佳釀，令人回味。現在飲口感頗重，感覺宏大，好。

1988 Ch. Latour

Deep purple dry red wine with medium black plum, cassis, blueberry, smoke, earth, vanilla, and touch of toasty oak. Quite full bodied with medium alcohol and acidity. Medium soft and ripe tannin with long herbaceous length and finish. Quite high intensity of vegetal, black cherry, and vanilla. A bit simple on palate yet powerful. (90) Concentrated with complex nose. Pure yet powerful palate with loads of fruit. Not bad.

濃郁，強勁，但複雜性不是十分出眾。香氣吸引但口感較簡單了一點，仍然是不錯的酒品。

1983 Ch. Latour

Tasting this wine with a bunch of wine buff. This one has a deep garnet to tawny colour with a paler tawny/brown rim. On nose it gives blackcurrant, plum, smoke, tobacco, cedar note with hints of licorice. This has medium acidity, alcohol, tannin and body. The tannin is smooth and soft and the after taste is long. On palate it further gives leather and meat flavour, together with the fruit, spice and vegetal sensed on nose. The wine is complex but not so strong as expected.
